PS2 Emulator Help

[KingGaz]

whenever i execute pcsx2 i get a message saying it has encountered an error. what is going on? oh and whenever i look at the ps2 output it "could not load file patches/default.xml"

[Inferno.]

What's the exact error code, please?

Do you have a ps2 bios in its directory?

[KingGaz]

no its not an error code as such as whenever i start it it comes up saying "pcsx2.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. we are sorry for the inconveneience."

and when i look at the output it says:

XML Patch Loader: Could not load file "patches\default.xml" . Error ="Error Document empty.".

and yes i do have bios

Try redownloading/reinstalling the emulator.

Try downloading the Installer (.exe) version:

thanks that fixes that and i have got it to work but whenever i start it is awfully slow. which is the best graphics plugin and i whenever i configure the controls they don't work so which one is the best controller plugin. and one more thing, whenever i start it, it goes to the startup screen and the iso i loaded into it isn't there. any help there?

Never used it myself, so I can't really help. But, you need a pretty powerful machine to run it decently. Dual core is a must, too. Don't expect it to run games at 60 FPS otherwise.

i think that my pc is not that powerful, anyway i fixed the default .xml problem so you can go ahead and lock this thread.
